Space: The Imagination Station, the Canadian SF Channel did an excellent job of promoting and airing the show up here. Decent commercials and a good timeslot (Mondays at 9:00PM). Apparently, it also got fairly good ratings durings it's first run. It's now on run number two at the moment.

It is my experiance that fox, like most conservative institutions in this country, is more than willing to sacrifice quality (what is good and right) for profit.

It would do us all to remember this lesson as we approach the upcoming election.

My life is already complicated enough without trying to introduce organization into it.

I doubt Rupert has his fingers in programming, he's too busy taking over the world! Don't forget that if it wasn't for Fox none of us would have been introduced to the crew of Serenity at all.

That non-caps thing is the result of having gone through the agony of cancellation - aren't you glad you were spared all that?

My favorite (and the best) sci-fi magazines come from across the pond. Cult TV, TV Zone, Babylon 5, FarScape and the like. The news may be about a month behind, but they often have tidbits that American TV forgot to mention, plus comprehensive episode synopses and excellent writing overall. Considering the UK is the land with the single longest running sci-fi series ever (Dr. Who was on for 25 years, I believe, before it took a little rest, and Red Dwarf is running a close second), you'd think American TV would be just a wee bit more considerate, wouldn't you?
